GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to
result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect
the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug
illustrated in sketch A. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as
A
the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. If an extension
cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix
W-A after the cord type designation. For example, a
designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be
appropriate for outdoor use. For proper size cords see chart
below.
WARNING: Some spray materials contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To reduce your exposure wear appropriate safety equipment such as face masks,
gloves, and other appropriate protective equipment. Please review and follow the safety precautions on the paint
container.

WARNING: Make sure area is well
ventilated and free of flammable vapors.
ALIGNING THE PICKUP TUBE (FIGURES B AND B1)
The pickup tube can be aligned in the
direction that you will be doing the most
spraying to help minimize the amount of times
that you will have to refill the canister.
• If you are spraying at an upward angle or
straight on, position the pickup tube
(figure B) toward the back of the canister.
• If you are spraying at a downward angle,
position the pickup tube (figure B1) toward
the front of the canister.
This will ensure you spray as much material as possible before you need to refill.
LIQUID MATERIAL PREPARATION - (FIGURES C, C1 AND C2)
TIP: Make sure the type of material you use can be cleaned with either mineral spirits or paint thinner (for
oil-based paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for water soluble paints like latex). Use drop cloths
during pouring, mixing, and viscosity testing of materials to be sprayed to protect your floors and anything
else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.
The liquid being sprayed may need to be
thinned (diluted) before starting. When
thinning, use the proper liquid thinner
recommended on the container by the
material manufacturer.

A 2-
/4 quart mixing bucket is provided
to use when transferring spray material
from the original container into the
bucket for thinning and measuring
purposes (figure C).
A viscosity test cup is provided to
determine the “runout time” of the material being used.
• Before measuring for the proper viscosity,
stir the material thoroughly.
• Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayed and fill the cup completely.
• With the cup held over the material container, measure the amount of time it
takes for the stream of material flowing out to “break” or stop being a constant
stream out of the bottom of the cup (2 minutes or less) (figure C1). This is the
“runout time” Refer to the thinning table for information on the thinning required for
different materials.
• If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid thinning material
recommended by the manufacturer (figure C2).
• It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the required thinning may exceed material manufacturerʼs
recommendation. Thin latex paint so that it runs through viscosity cup in under 2 minutes. The operator should consider the type of application and final location of the project when spraying a material that requires more than 2 minutes to run through the viscosity cup,

PREPARATION TIPS
• Always stir and strain the material thoroughly before use.
• With any spraying job you should always ensure that you have properly prepared the surface to get the best finish.
That is, all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior surfaces and
ensure that they are dry before spraying.
• Even though HVLP sprayers have very little overspray, it is recommended that you mask all edges and other areas
and use drop cloths to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.
• Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain with a funnel with a filter
attached or through hosiery to remove any impurities that could clog system.
• Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc. available for unexpected spills.
FILLING THE CANISTER - (FIGURE D)
• Check to make sure that the canister is completely screwed onto the
sprayer.
• Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid facing up.
• Unscrew the lid on the side of the canister.
• Pour the properly thinned and strained material to be sprayed into the
side fill canister (figure D). TIP: Use the mixing bucket provided to
pour material from the original material container into the side fill
canister.
• Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of the canister and
sprayer.
• Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid completely onto the side fill
canister. Check the lid to make sure it is threaded on squarely and
completely before picking up the sprayer.
D
OPERATION
MATERIAL FLOW ADJUSTMENT
Set the material volume by turning the
material adjustment knob on the trigger of the
sprayer.
• For maximum material flow, thread knob all
the way in as shown in figure E.
• For minimum material flow, thread knob all
the way out as shown in figure E1.
The flow indicator on the side of the sprayer
moves forward (minimal liquid flow) and
backward (maximum liquid flow) as the trigger
is depressed.
TIP: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or similar material first. Begin with the material
adjustment knob on the highest flow setting (threaded all the way in). If less flow is desired, dial the material
adjustment knob out. Heavier, thicker materials should be sprayed with the knob dialed farther in. Thinner
materials should be sprayed with the knob dialed farther out.

SMART SELECT NOZZLE SELECTION - (FIGURE F)
There are three spray patterns to choose from. They are marked as 1, 2 and 3 on the Smart Select label located on the top
of the sprayer (figure F). To select pattern number 1, turn the spray nozzle and align the green indicator on the spray
nozzle with the number 1 on the label (figure F1).
NOTE: Spray nozzle can only be assembled in one direction. Refer to figure S for proper assembly.
• Pattern number 1
- Horizontal FlatJet - Apply up and
down a surface.
• Pattern number 2
- Circular Jet - for
corners, edges and
narrow surfaces.
TIP: Position number 2 has a detent that you can feel when you turn the spray nozzle.
Make sure it locates in the detent.
• Pattern number 3 - Vertical Flat Jet. Apply side to side.
F
WARNING: Risk of injury. Never point the sprayer at any part of the body. Never pull the
trigger while adjusting the spray setting.
DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
• Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material such as
cardboard to test your spray pattern and become familiar with the
flow control feature of the sprayer.
• Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt, and grease.
F1
G
• Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could be blown
onto newly sprayed surfaces.
• Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
• Always spray from a minimum of 1 inch (25mm) to a maximum of
14 inches (355mm) (figure G).
• A commonly used method for spraying a large surface is the
“crisscross” pattern. This is done by spraying in horizontal strips
and then crossing over these strips with vertical strips.
• To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at the
same distance (figure G) from the surface you are spraying and
avoid moving your wrist (figure H).
• Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help avoid
inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has begun and
release trigger before stopping the pass.
• Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several lighter
coats are better than one heavy coat which can lead to running
and dripping. Remember that the flow control knob regulates the
amount of liquid that can be sprayed. Turning the flow knob
clockwise increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob
counterclockwise decreases the flow of liquid. If runs or drips do
occur, have a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.
• Turn the power unit off when not spraying for any length of time.
